Keselowski was the 16th qualifier to make an attempt at the 2.5-mile oval
and posted a fast-lap time of 49.756 seconds at a speed of 180.883 mph
placing the No. 12 Dodge in 11th-place overall.

"We'll take it. I'm new at this place and I'm not sure what fast is yet,"
said Keselowski. "Our Penske Dodge Charger ran a good lap. We were better
than we were in practice and I'm really encouraged by that. Hopefully, we
can find some things that will carry over to race trim. We'll keep working
on it and see if we can have a strong run in both cars this weekend."
